'When Liverpool faced Thailand's national team...it was the reverse as the Thai crowd cheered their national team.'
MR KHOO KAH LIANG: 'Although nearly everyone was decked in red, our national colour, it was obvious that the red was in support of Liverpool. Then, there was the emcee who yelled over the speakers: 'This is Anfield', followed by a singer belting out the English club's anthem, which got the crowd joining in. But a couple of days earlier in Bangkok, it was a different story when Liverpool faced Thailand's national team. It was the reverse as the Thai crowd cheered their national team. It would have been nice if the organisers had remembered to schedule equal singing time for the Singapore team by playing, 'Stand Up For Singapore', for instance, especially as National Day is around the corner.'
...or Malaysia
'The fans reserved the louder cheers for their national team.'
MR TARO TAN: 'It saddens me to learn that Singaporeans were complaining about stiff ticket prices when they willingly shell out stiff subscription fees for their diet of live football matches on pay TV. Singaporeans love football and they will not want top clubs to give Singapore a miss in future. Malaysia hosted Manchester United for two matches and both matches filled a far larger-capacity stadium than ours. While the fans cheered both teams, they reserved the louder cheers for their national team.'
